    Here is Simmons' defense.
    Simmons vs the Trail Blazers comes right after the highlight against Luka (a Blazer opponent in the WC.)

    The number one thing I would want out of a good/great player returned from the Lillard trade would be that the player is a very good defender.

    I don't like simmons but he'd pair well next to grant. i'd probably want another shooter though vs. nurkic.

    The trick is to pick him up BEFORE he proves it.

    I'm fairly confident Dame didn't tell Matt Moore anything about sitting out, so I wouldn't put too much thought into this.

    He won't sit out and lose 40-50 million dollars next season. No matter if he told Matt Moore anything or not, I'm glad someone is reporting this to counter all the bullshit being spewed about him only playing for one team by Aaron Goodwin.

    ???
    Johnson was not included in the trade scenario I provided. Not sure what that has to do with anything

    Five percent of the time, Moore is right 100 percent of the time.

    Weird--I saw Cam Thomas, interpreted as Cam Johnson, and went from there. My mistake, and my apologies.

    Going back you your proposal--feels like the Nets are getting Dame for a pretty light offering. They offload Simmons and give 3 picks, and don't give up a single quality player (I don't think DFS qualifies) for a superstar. In fact, they get to replace DFS with a much younger version (I just checked--Nas is actually still younger today than DFS was the day he played his first NBA game).

    Curious as I am by what a Simmons/KAT pairing might look like, I would definitely want more/better assets from the Nets than what you have in your proposal.

    It appears to me some here believe this report confirms a fact from Dame, the person who will make the decision; so I think it's fair to point out the legitimacy of the report.

    If the discussion is about pure speculation of what we think Dame will do, I would guess Dame won't sit out as well.

    True. But he'd be an expiring contract we could trade... And honestly, he might start thinking he actually wants to get another contract and playing defense at an elite level.

    I'm not for it, but I'm not dead set against it either.

    Not sure about that. He wasn’t exactly thrilled with the Blazers last year, but he still had his best season.
